Career Fairs
Every year, Princess Sumaya University for Technology organizes a career fair for its students and graduates. Major companies and institutions are invited to participate. The event is based on PSUT's strategic goals to bridge the gap between the labor market and the local community, and seeks to open communication channels between students and graduates of our University and the government and private sector. The University organizes this exhibition, with the participation of public and private sector institutions that get to meet students and graduates and recruit them to the labor market for employment and training. Our students are highly competent and possess excellent academic and applied qualifications in the fields of communication technology, computing, energy, network security, information and business.

Workshops
Workshops are considered an important means adopted by the Career Guidance Office, in order to achieve the exchange of expertise and roles in various topics. The Career Guidance Office prepares numerous workshops each semester and academic year, bringing together experts and trainers in a particular field with many students interested in that field and seeking to develop themselves through the information presented in the workshop, and the practical training provided therein. The workshop is an effective method to obtain the missing information that the individual needs in his field of work, whereby he can acquire many of the skills, concepts, and practical methods sought after by graduates, that are not delivered either at university or work.
PSUT is in the habit of holding dozens of workshops annually on topics of interest to graduates, such as skills for dealing with the labor market, how to set up a company, CV writing skills, creative thinking skills, the role of women in technology, and other topics that enhance the personality and ability of graduates to compete in the labor market.

Guest Speakers
PSUT regularly hosts visits from experts from the labor market and the local community who give applied lectures about the theoretical aspects that are covered in the regular course lectures within the study plan. The aim is to facilitate the linking and networking of PSUT's specializations with the labor market and inform students about the latest market developments. This activity has become a tradition practiced by specializations in the University’s Schools in coordination with the Career Guidance Office to increase the students’ practical experience, and to harmonize the theoretical aspect with labor market requirements. Through this program, about 30 experts are hosted each semester. Held within a coordinated program, the results of these visits are significant and reinforce the students experience in their theoretical studies. The visits also serve to strengthen PSUT's relations with the labor market, and work to implement the University’s strategic objectives of developing its services for students, the local community and the labor market.
